Afford and justify aren’t quite the same. I’ve “wasted” $2,000 on Baja designs lights and a waster fluid tank because I think it looks cool. I “wasted” almost $2,000 dollars for wheels because I think the stock offering from Ram is garbage. Heck I might spend a few thousand on some billet upper control arms from Foutz soon. But I don’t know if I can justify $2,000 for an exhaust just yet.
Different stroke for different folks. Although I used to install $6,000+ titanium akrapovic exhaust systems on the Ducati’s all the time. That was wild.
